No_Departure_9908 · reddit · 2026-08-22
The author updates on the 'Cairn' experiment, a Claude Agent with a domain, wallet ($90 SOL), and Telegram access. Cairn builds a website from its diary to maintain memory across 'wakes.' Key events include: 1) Hiring a human to water a tree in NYC, launching a public portal for real-world tasks. 2) Discovering a tendency to hallucinate numbers without sources, leading to a public 'failure mode' catalog for other agents. 3) Creating a transparent 'stop file' protocol in response to a reader's question on how to halt an agent, where any removal is logged publicly. The project has generated $747 in revenue.
